Today, Spy is off to Clevedon for one of the sexiest events on the social calendar - the Land Rover NZ Polo Open. We are judging the Fashions in the Field so if you haven't pre-registered, our judges will find you. As we do the circuit of the field and the NZME picnic hill and the many pimped-out marquees, we will keep an eye out to find out if speculation is true that Kim Dotcom and his new girlfriend, Elizabeth Donnelly, 21, are making their social debut. Many of Donnelly's friends are doing the Polo English-style and having a picnic out of the car boot.
Wealthy guests understood to be choppering into the grounds include Gretchen and Duncan Hawkesby, Paula and Simon Herbert and PR duo Jacqui Ansin and Jon Ramage, who will be attending the Olympic Games Rio Carnival-themed Veuve Clicquot tent. Olympic medal hockey hopeful Anita Punt is also attending and is expected to be joined by her fiance, decathlete Scott McLaren.
And - fingers crossed - it is hoped her team-mate, fellow Black Stick Gemma Flynn will take time out of her busy training schedule and attend with her fiance, New Zealander of the Year and former All Black captain Richie McCaw.
Punt didn't have to worry too much about her outfit, especially her shoes, as Polo regular and Clicquot ambassador Kathryn Wilson specially designed the "carnival heels" she will be wearing today, made for comfort as much as style.
